My wife refers to my carrier as the "TANK"! Today I went to a farm
auction and purchased a plastic 2000 gallon tank for spray water.

She phoned and asked what I bought ...I said a tank and she sceamed
"OH MY GOD NOT ANOTHER ONE " HA HA Made my day!!

I have a fair bit of track that someone has welded grousers to, I guess where ever it was meant to go buy previous owners they must have need more traction. My wife just hates summer time, thats when I get the itch for exploring and finding more junk as she says. It is just a nice Sunday drive, "Honest". I really thing it just spring fever or some kind of fever anyways.

your sone has a nice basis for a project, might even still have the CT number in the armour infront of the driver too. a lovely collection there. Kevin Powles may have a few photo requests of the tank destroyer engine cover's i think he was looking to see how the flap on the top locked shut, amongst other things.
